HARTSVILLE, S.C. – The Coker women’s soccer and
women’s volleyball teams will both participate in breast
cancer awareness games this month.

The women’s soccer team will host the third consecutive
“Kick for Ta-ta’s” when they take on
Carson-Newman College at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday (Oct. 19), while the
women’s volleyball team will host its “Dig Pink”
game against Queens University of Charlotte at 7 p.m. on Oct.
25.

“As a program, this has become a game we look forward to
playing,” said head women’s soccer coach Dan Muns.
“The awareness and money we have raised for breast cancer
over the last two years hosting this game has been very
fulfilling.”

The soccer team will wear pink shirts during warm-ups and pink
socks during the game in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The volleyball team will hold a bake sale during its game. Assorted
treats will be sold as well as pink paper ribbons that will be
displayed on a Wall of Honor. Donations can be made prior to and
during both games, with all the proceeds going to the Susan G.
Komen for the Cure foundation.

“This will be my first time having a team
participate in such a game,” said head women’s
volleyball coach Allison Stack. “I am excited that our
program has the opportunity to play a game that raises awareness
for such a great cause and have the proceeds go to a wonderful
foundation like Susan G. Komen for the Cure.”

In addition to the activities associated with both games, the
Coker Student Government Association will have special edition pink
breast cancer awareness CobraFANatics shirts available for purchase
at each event. Fans are encouraged to wear pink to both games to
show their support for breast cancer awareness.
